Pavel Zacha Wants Bruins To Be ‘More Aggressive’ In Game 2 Against Sabers

The Boston Bruins wish to be extra aggressive in Game 2 towards the Buffalo Sabers on Tuesday.

Boston is coming off a surprising 4-3 loss to the Sabers in Game 1, in a sport that the Bruins allowed four-straight objectives within the third interval, earlier than David Pastrnak scored with seconds left to make it 4-3.

Ahead of a pivotal Game 2, Bruins ahead Pavel Zacha said he and the team must be extra aggressive on the forecast.

“I think we weren’t as aggressive on the forecheck,” Zacha stated forward of Tuesday’s sport. “I think that’s something we’ve talked about as a line, that we have to go be more aggressive, win our puck battles there. I think we tried to defend a little bit too much.

“There are all the time ups and downs, so it is good to have that comfortability to speak to your teammates. Especially your linemates – we watched the video collectively, sort of talked what can we do higher. That’s how we work out the method for us as a line for the subsequent sport. I feel that is essential to be on the identical web page. Experience the primary sport and go from there.”

Zacha recorded an assist and has 17:02 of ice time in Game 1 as he centered the second line with Casey Mittelstadt and Viktor Arvidsson.

Arvidsson, meanwhile, is eager to turn the page to Game 2 and even up the series.

“It is a brand new sport right this moment,” Arviddson stated. “Just gotta forget about it and learn from it. New game today, and we’ve got to be ready for that and be excited for the challenge.”

Puck drop for Game 2 is about for 7:30 pm ET on Tuesday.
